The Problem: The bearing cage for the right front half-shaft assembly may not have been properly heat-treated, possibly resulting in the bearing cage breaking and a potential half-shaft assembly failure. This could cause a loss of drive or allow the vehicle to move while in Park, increasing the risk of a crash.

The Fix: Dealers will replace the front right half-shaft assemblies for free.
